bigironvault Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) With great shame it turns out my sister is now working with the Rebel Legion to build her a X-Wing pilot kit in order to join the Rebel Alliance and topple the Empire! We are a proud Imperial family, alas being the black sheep that she is - she's now working with the enemy! Just kidding sis! After watching my excitement about my Stormtrooper kit, she's super into costuming now. She wanted to be Boushh but that kit is way too expensive and advanced of a build for her right now. So she's starting with something a little easier and looking to be one of the rare female X-Wing pilots. I'm pretty happy that the two of us can now giggle like school kids when a piece of our kit comes in. Edited March 28, 2012 by bigironvault Quote
bigironvault Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 LOL Mark, it's okay at GenCon we can parade her around as a rebel captive. We do have binders right? Quote
Spectre Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 She's fallen!...to..to the light..from the dark..that's how it works right? Good on her, she'll come to the dark side soon enough. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 She "sorta" started on the Dark SIde and wanted to be a bounty hunter - particulary Boushh but after some research that kit is just pretty darn hard to get together without either a lot of money to spend or knowing how to sew well. The helmet alone is probably $400-500. So she went with her next favourite thing ... a rebel pilot - which I have to admit is pretty cool seeing as how you get to paint your own helmet and unless you're going canon with a particular pilot. Which she isn't - tiny asian female pilot in ANH. Yup pretty much non-existant. So she gets to be whatever she wants. I will turn her though eventually... maybe TIE pilot. Hmm. Quote
bobojuice Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 My gf Olga started out with a RL approved New Republic Jedi. Now she's the first female Centurion TK in the Legion and we are just finishing up her Boushh. It all just takes time. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 Boushh eh? How did she find that build? It looked really tough that we (my sister and I) didn't want to tackle that right off the bat. Quote
bobojuice Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 She doesn't build her costumes so I'm pretty sure she found it very easy. I on the other hand... I will say that it is a VERY expensive costume to build. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 Yup that's pretty much my assessment too. Which lead my sister to the Rebels. I couldn't believe the details in Boushh I never noticed before. Quote
bobojuice Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 I think it's gonna end up costing around 2500 once we're set. Thing is, we got the best of everything. Cloth parts from Clothears, Todd's bucket, and Scott's armor kit. PLUS we're having one of the best painters in our garrison do all the details. (She wouldn't let me paint it) If you did it yourself and know how to sew it'll be much cheaper but much more difficult. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 Totally agree with you on that, for us once we factored in the shipping costs to Canada, we were almost $3000. Nice to know we weren't far off! Quote
bobojuice Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Just got everything in. Just a few tweaks here and there and we're done. I'll send you some shots when we get everything done. Quote
